John Carter Brown Research Fellowship for Indigenous Communities

Description

The John Carter Brown Library invites tribal communities and community members to apply to its Research Fellowship for Indigenous Communities. This fellowship supports community-prioritized and community-based research that would benefit from research time in the JCB's collections, that could be undertaken, for example, by Native or Indigenous scholars, Elders, Tribal librarians or archivists, and knowledge keepers. Individual scholars may apply but must include a letter of support from the tribal community that will benefit from their research. Researchers do not need to have an academic affiliation or academic background to apply. Fellowship funding supports the JCB's commitment to knowledge sharing and digital and on-site access to its collection of materials focused on the history of the western hemisphere from the 15th through the 19th centuries. The Fellowship is available for periods of two to four months. The JCB supports both residential and remote fellowships. Applications for this fellowship are accepted and awarded on a rolling basis. A letter of support from a representative of the community that will directly benefit from the research project must be submitted. The letter should include a description of the researcher's experience and interest in undertaking this work on behalf of the community. Awards are open to U.S. citizens and foreign nationals who hold the necessary U.S. government documents. Successful proposals will require the use of materials available only at the JCB. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact the John Carter Brown Library for more information.
